But it's prettier if you know the story. This is a Shasta Daisy. It takes a long time to get one of the blossoms and this is actually the second one. The first is in a vase in the kitchen. In the mini-greenhouse picture which was taken in March last year, the Shasta Daisies are the seedlings to the far left. I planted them in the flower bed in April and they grew and looked good during the summer but they never grew very tall and they didn't bloom. I learned that they weren't suppose to. They stayed green all winter but lost a lot of the height they did have. They were only 6-8 inches tall and after a freeze they lay on the ground and looked to be gone. But now they are perhaps three feet tall and there are buds all over them. They bloom the second year - so I'm gonna have a bunch of these - just hope that some of the others look better than this one!
